About this place
Set within Sun Palace Ito in Haneda, izakaya Tenzan provides a low-key tavern setting where guests can sip drinks over affordable small dishes. The menu ranges from daily chalked recommendations to reliable staple bites suited to alcohol.
Slips of paper showcasing the day's specials display seafood options such as seabass sashimi and negitoro (minced tuna with scallion), alongside crisp fried Shiba shrimp, Nikko-style fried chicken, slippery boiled wontons served on a plate, and assorted oden. Starting with a simple chilled tofu while browsing the options with a beer in hand is an effortless way to settle in.
Slow-simmered dishes and stir-fries round out the selection for those seeking something heartier. In addition to classic simmered offal, the menu includes robust beef tendon cooked with garlic, simmered yellowtail collar with daikon radish, and stewed meatballs, as well as stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with egg, chive omelet, and twice-cooked pork.
Operated solo by the owner, Tenzan suits evenings when diners are happy to take their time while dishes are prepared. Operating hours run from 18:00 to 22:00, closing on Tuesdays and Sundays; payment is cash only, and table reservations are accepted.
